The first time i saw the frames on Irish tv before i came to america i liked this guys voice. He truly has worked the circuit and made it the hardest way possible
Id LOVE to no what Glen has his guitar tuned to ?Im really trying to figure it out but i jus cant .. AAAHHHHHH !!!! I really wanna learn this song on guitar u see :) !! :D.. so cud any1 help me out ???! :O cheers ;)
Who in his or her right mind could ever even consider disliking this? This is one of the greatest things I have ever heard. I love when someone is better live than on any album. He is musical perfection. The end of this song is absolutely brilliant.
wow man it hasn't been long since i knew him and here i am..i can't stop listening to him..listening to his songs..he's real great, really really good i love him, i like him very very much..his music..his way of singing..i just can't stop listening to him!
Saw Glen open for Eddie Vedder last night, he Absolutely blew me away. He did this song, it had me in tears, full blown tears. I felt his pain, I lived it with him through that song... absolutely astonishing performer. This is someone that everyone HAS to hear, you owe it to yourself. Not to mention how it could help Glen in his much deserved success. I know that Eddie's help will help send him into the stratosphere as well. Check out the band "the swell season" also, his other venture. Enjoy
@darkerentropy well, they probably have a different taste in music than You and I, what`s there to understand? (or maybe they don`t like guitars with extra holes ?;)
@TheBsk5150 Stubb's BBQ is not just a BBQ, it's a venue where many musicians and other artists/entertainers would perform. However, when nobody is performing there, it's just the restaurant, Stubb's BBQ.
just lov this song. reminds me evry time why i lov music. that bloke gives shivers and goose bump every time he starts screaming. even tho i always kno its gonna come.
Those who like it should definitely see the movie "once"
i'm interested-- is there anyone who has watched this and didn't think it was something special? what a rare song/performance/artist... very grateful glen got introduced to the world after so long... so great. sigh.
Exactly what I was thinking. Can't believe that he can give 100% every song he performes. If it were me, I would be exhausted after three or four songs but he just keeps going on WITH quality.
There's something I don't understand about Glen Hansard. He gives 100% every song, every show and his voice remains sweet, his passion as fresh as when he was twenty. How is this possible? Is he human? Or angel?
you know ... reading your description, you said " I have seen a lot of shows in my time but I have to say this was the best musical experience I have ever had." This is the EXACT same thing I said when I first saw him w/The Swell Season at the Paramount in 08. The guy is a musical genius.
I must say, hearing him and Marketa play their wonderful music really changed me. Thanks to them i have come to apreciate music a lot more and now play guitar far more seriously and with more passion than I have ever put in almost anything in my life. Before watching Once, I barely played and barely listen to much music, now I play pretty much daily as much as possible non stop and listen to more music than ever. I hope to at least only have part of the talent he has.
legandary enought but the feeling and emotion this man puts into his music can only be rivalled my damien rice. to irishmen. makes me so so pround to say im from the same place. and that i aspire to achieve even a fraction of what they have
really? i dont think they've worked together in that way tho. i duno about that i've never heard about that. but if thats true that'd be pretty awsome!
That's just outright blasphemy! Glen's been releasing albums since '89, damien rice haas never had any input apart from coming out on stage in Marlay park to do his own song in 2003 with the frames...
sorry to dissapoint you man but glen said it himself in a radio 1 interview bout a year back. if its any concellation i prefer glen to damien. although they are both superb
Goose bumps!!! Would happily turn gay for this guy. Noone seems to know about 'once' in oz (i just got back from nepal, where i saw it). Anyone know when or if he's coming to australia
i loved the movie. it wasnt like most musicals where they suddenly break out in song. it was actuelly somewhat realistic. he is a beautiful singer. luv it.
damn....this dude sings from the heart...straight out! the movie was great. Perfect title...you only meet someone that connects with you ONCE. They didn't even kiss or anything that would have put them in a predictable spot. Just a beautiful movie.
it actually does feature a few senonds of the last section of leave in the film when he's playing her his songs on tape in his room but thats the only time you hear it
correction: when he is in applying for a loan to make his album, it plays the very end of "leave" on his little hand held recorder to the loan guy, right before he jumps up and starts playing his own song.
Like other people have said, it's a shame I did not know of him until the film 'Once'. He is amazing and I will not rest until I get to see him play live someplace!
so interesting what musician think on stage, he sings such an incredibly passionate song, at the same thinks "oops my E strings abit out of tune i'll just give it a tweak whilst i play" glen you are a legend! come to New Zealand one day soon!
what i would give to be within 100 metres of this misplaced angel
